Iveco Turbostar 190.48 Reefer Truck (1/24)

The Iveco Turbostar was one of the most successful European heavy trucks of the late twentieth century, and this Italeri kit represents a refrigerated configuration that became especially common in food logistics. Thanks to its robustness, reliability, and strong performance, the Turbostar secured a leading position in the European commercial vehicle market and went on to become the most widespread industrial truck in Italy by the end of the 1980s.

Produced in a wide range of versions to meet the precise needs of transport companies, the Turbostar platform proved highly adaptable. Insulated and refrigerated body variants were particularly popular, offering dependable temperature control combined with generous load capacity. The vehicle’s layout, supported by a sturdy twin-wheel rear axle, delivered a well-judged balance between overall size and usable cargo volume.
